Meghan Markle has come under fire for an “absolutely tasteless” move that coincided with a tough day for the Royal Family.
On the weekend, Meghan made an appearance at Oprah Winfrey’s book club session in California.
She attended the event on the eve of the two-year anniversary Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
Speaking to GB News, royal biographer Richard Fitzwilliam branded this a “dreadful mistake”.
He said: “I think it was an absolutely dreadful choice of venue to appear at, especially on a very special anniversary.

“I mean, we all know that when Meghan and Harry gave the interview on Oprah, which is infamous.
“Although they didn’t plan this, by the time the interview aired, Prince Philip was in hospital. We know that he died shortly afterwards.
“We also know that the interview was like exploding a nuclear weapon in the courtyard of Buckingham Palace.
“What is remembered is that the Queen’s comments. ‘Some recollections may vary’ sums it up very well. But that was absolutely tasteless place to be seen.
“We know that Meghan and Oprah are friends, but to be seen in a place which brought back memories of that interview on that anniversary is just extraordinary.”

While at the book club meeting, Meghan said: “I’m looking at this time as my chapter of joy.
“The more you can look at your life and really, truly recognise and be able to be grateful for your life – you have to be grateful for all aspects of it.
“My intentionality is to enjoy this chapter and be able to love through every piece of this as best we can.”
